The male then had fled the truck on foot attempting to get away from the police. a SPS Canine unit was deployed and the male was apprehended a short later under a deck of a house. The male sustained minor injuries consistent with a dog bite.

This male that was arrested from the truck turned out to be the suspect involved in the shooting that had occurred in the 300 block Ave H South earlier this evening.
